Khubza & Seneya
خبزة وصينية
One of Aqaba's best-reviewed budget restaurants, known for tray-baked Jordanian home cooking, with sesame meatballs as its signature.
Located on An-Nahda Street, right next to the Captain's Hotel and the weekend night market, it specializes in Jordanian home-style dishes baked in trays. Its signature items are sesame meatballs and potato-and-tomato meatballs. Diners also often mention pomegranate molasses chicken livers and tray-baked halloumi, and it has since added grilled skewers and lamb chops. It has roughly 3,700 reviews on Tripadvisor and about 7,600 on Google, with high ratings on both. The space is small and crowded at peak times, service can be inconsistent, and the neighboring cafés play loud music. Some reviewers say there are no restrooms inside. Prices are budget-friendly for the area. Most downtown hotels are within walking distance, and a parking lot is nearby.
